Although poorly paid, the Persian
servant has n lazy time of it, has often
chance to steal a little. and stands on
. rather high rung of the social ladder
in Persia. He, therefore, serves his
master about as well as he understands
it, and certainly as we'll as that master
deserves. Cases of unaffected devotion
of man to master are not by any means
rare, and the fallen fortunes of this or
that Persian grandee rarely deprive
him % the really .aluable part of his
following. One of the chief character
istics of the Persian servant is his cheer
full way of coming 'round'' when
found out. If he sees that some little

Newton Watts Arrested.

CHICAGO. Feb. l1.-Ncwton Watts,
the baggagemaster of the Rock Island
train robbed near Morris, is under arrest
tor alleged completely in the crime. He
has been missing since Tuesday night, but
not until this afternoon was it definitely
known that he had been taken into Gus
tody. Wednesday he was conveyed to
Morris by a detective in company with the
Joliet chief of police. The two paid
Brakeman Henry Schwartz a visit at the
iail. They remained in the cell with
Schwartz two hours, during which there
was much stormy talk. Watts was ex-
tremely vigorous in his denial of certain
statements said to have been made by
Mrs. Mayhem, Schwartz's mistress, and
corroborsted by Schwartz. The baggage
master paced the floor excitedly and
claimed the whole proceeding was an
attempt to ruin him. Schwartz and the
Mayhem woman and the detective we're
repeatedly branded by him as falsiiers.
The whole matter ended by Watts being
returned to Chicago, where he is now
closely confined. There Is no longer any
secret made that Mrs. Mayhem is also
under arrest.

The Great Strike Ended.

New YORK, Feb. l2.-The World
says: The executive board of district
assembly 40 last night declared the great
strike at an end. Its reasons for doing so
are contained in the following statements
issued by the executive board:
A committee of the dissatisfied men
employed on the Reading road called on
Austin Corbin, at his Philadelphia office,
this morning, and informed him they were
determined to strike at noon if terms were
not made satisfactory to 40. The men
said it vas impossible to hold to the So
called agreement if it WAS not made
definite. Mr.. Corbin consulted with Mr..
Mclean, receiver of the coal company,
and it was decided to open the Elizabeth
port works in week. He gave as a reason
for not opening them sooner that it would
take at least three or four days to
get coal from the mines. He also prom
ised to pay the highest wages. If differ
enccs arise. they are to be submitted to
arbitration, one arbitrator to be chosen by
the men, and one by the company, and
to be called if the two fail to agree.
Alter tho conference between Mr.. Corbin
and the committee. it was decided to ac-
cept the terms in the interests of com
merce and the industries Of the state OF
New York, and recommended all to sup
port the employees Of Mr.. Corbin and re-
turn to work by Monday. 1t was also
resolved that all coal handlers. except
those at Hoboken, Port johnson, Wee
hawken and Perth Amboy shall return to

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-At 3l5 the
president private secretary was announc-
ed. He presented a message from the
president transmitting without his appro-
val the dependent pension bill. The read
ing Of the message was followed with an
attention more strict than is generally
accorded to such documents.
At its conclusion, Mr.. Matson. of
Indiana, moved that the bill and accom-
panying message be referred to the com
mittee on invalid pensions. promising that
they would be reported back within the
coming week. The motion was agreed to,
1877 to 81.

dent message vetoing the dependent

The Issue of 81 and 50 U. s. Notes.

1ue ls6ue OF OIL ana % U. .. Notes.
WASHINGTON. Feb. ll.-Representa-
tive Weaver, of Iowa, states that he has
to-day received word from the president
that he had directed Secretary Manning
to obey the law concerning 81 and 50
United States notes, and to issue the
same; that the order was emphatic and
given to Mr.. Manning orally, but would
be reduced to writing and delivered to the
secretary to-day.
Mr.. Weaver also states that some days
ago at his request a consultation concern
ing this matter was held, at which
Speaker Carlisle, Messrs. Morrison, Wea-
yer, Warner, Mills and Wilkins we're pre-
sent. Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, and Mr..
Brumm, Of Pennsylvania, were also con,
suited by Dir. Weaver, as were also seve-
raj other members Of congress. The
opinion seemed to be unanimous that the
law had been violated, and Mr.. Carlisle
was requested to bring the matter to the
attention of the president. One of these
gentlemen is authority for the statement
that when the presidents attention was
called to the matter he very promptly
declared that the treasury department was
wrong, and hence his order as above
stated.
At the white house no information il
regard to the foregoing il obtainable. ex-
cept that the president has written no
such letter to the secretary" Beyond
tits statement the president remarked
that he did not care to say anything on
the subject.
Treasurer Jordan said that no instruc-
lion to change the present practice in re-
gard to the redemption and issuance of
United States notes had yet reached his
office.
Secretary Manning said to an Associs
ted Press reporter this evening that moth
ing had been said or sent to him by the
president on the above mentioned subject.

~ s. = . .
When the law of 1918 WAS upon its
passage in congress the number of pen
sioners to be benefited thereby was
thought to be 374, but the number of ap-
plicants under the act was %, 297, and the
number of pensions actually allowed, 20
1855, costing, it is reported. for the first
year, 81, s47, 900, instead of $40, 900, the
estimated expense for that period. The
law was passed in 1858 for the benefit of
surviving widows of revolutionary soldiers
who married after July /, 1900. 1t was
estimated that they numbered 300, at the
time of the passage of the act; but the
number of pensions allowed was 3,742,
and the amount paid for such pensions
during the first year Of operation of the
act was $3.50. 900 instead of $24 900 as had
been estimated. made no search for
other illustrations, and the above being
at hand are given as tending to show that
the estimates cannot be replied upon in
such cases. If ION should be pensioned
under this bill, except those utterly unable
to work, | am satisfied hat the cost stated
in the estimates referred to, would be
many times multiplied and with a constant
increase from year to year; and il those
partially unable to earn their living should
be admitted to the privileges of this bill,
the probable increase of expense would be
almost appalling.
In my last annual message the following
language was used:
Every patriotic heart responds to the
tender consideration for those who. Aav-
ing served their country long and well, are
reduced to restitution and dependence,
not as an incident of their service, but
with advancing age or through sickness or
misfortune. We are all tempted by the
contemplation of such a condition to SUP
ply relief, and are often impatient of the
limitations Of public duty to yield to no
one in the desire to indulge this feeling Of
consideration, I cannot rid myself OF the
conviction that if these ex-soldiers are to
be relieved, they and their cause are enti-
tied to the benefit of an enactment under
which relief may be claimed as a right,
and hat such relief should be granted
under sanction of law. not in the evasion
of it; nor should such worthy objects of
care, all equally entitled, be RENTED to
the unequal operation of sympathy or Of
the tender mercies Of social aud political
influences, with their unjust discrimina-
tons
| do not think that the objects, condi-
tons and limitations thus suggested are
contained in the bill under consideration.
| adhere to the sentiments thus heretofore
expressed, but the evil threatened by this
bill is, in my opinion, such that, charged
with the great responsibility in behalf of
the people, | cannot do otherwise han to
bring to the consideration of this measure
my best efforts of thought and Judgment,
and perform my constitutional duty in
relation thereto regardless of all conse-
quences, except such as appear to me to
be related to the best and highest interests
of the country.
